Days 132 - 145

We have been really busy the last few weeks with some really fun events!

Grace has spent the last 3 months training for a 5K. She is part of a running team called "Girls on the Run" and she has really enjoyed it. So on a saturday morning in December, in 30 degree weather, she and I ran her 5K. Grace did an excellent job and I loved running with her.

Brenna put this poster together and left it on our car as a surprise before we left for the run. Grace loved it and appreciated the support!

We got our Christmas tree.

Grace, Lucy and I had a great girls night out! We took the metro downtown and ate at a great salad place called "Chop't" We loved it. The we headed over to the Warner theatre to watch the Nutcracker!

It was so fun to spend an evening with my girls.

And for the past few weeks we have been potty training. So there has been m&m's at all hours of the day as an incentive for Jake. It is working and he is doing great!
